In the car, she had the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven. She saw the flying car as fast as a galloping horse, flying in the air for a while, then drilled into a sea of fog below. After coming out of the fog, there was a vast ocean under the car, which was even wider than the Three Elements Marsh at the foot of Purple Essence Mountain. Fish jumped and birds flew in the sea, and all things were prosperous. In the distance, there was a faint melodious singing, which was extremely pleasant to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward smiled outside the car, \"Miss Ci, you came here last time, entering and exiting through the side path, so I think you haven't enjoyed the scenery of the Cave Heaven properly. Today, the servant specially took this water route. If Miss is interested, you can walk to the front of the car and take a look at the good scenery of our Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci naturally had limited vision sitting in the car. Hearing this, she stepped out happily. The steward didn't dare to stand side by side with her, jumped into the air, walked side by side with the flying car, pointed out the scenery in the Cave Heaven for Ruan Ci, and said, \"Those singing are the East Sea Merfolk. When the True Person traveled in the past, he brought back a part of them, and now they have multiplied to thousands of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci really didn't know that the Merfolk sang so pleasantly, and thought in her heart, \"Knowing each other for several years, why didn't Sister Lin Ji sing to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she remembered Lin Ji's vow to be a human, and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she was afraid she would never hear Lin Ji's singing again in this life. She looked around and asked, \"How long does it take to walk through this Cave Heaven?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward smiled, \"If you travel around with this flying car, it will take three months from south to north.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is really not small. Ruan Ci looked back and measured the thick fog just now, which was the entrance to the Cave Heaven. She thought in her heart, \"The Sky Boat can hold so many goods and cultivators, and I think it is already very vast, but thinking about it now, the Sky Boat moves everywhere, and the Cave Heaven in the boat should be considered small in the Cave Heaven. A vast world like the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven is the norm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cave Heaven True Person is one whose inner scene world can be attached to the Zhou Tian and exist for a long time. Even if the True Person sits and dies, the Cave Heaven will not disappear with it. Ruan Ci's own inner scene world is just a small lake of one mu. According to the \"Sky Boat Crossing\", this is already much better than most cultivators. Ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators are very rare to have a Jade Pool of several feet or ten feet in radius. Comparing that Jade Pool the size of a room with this vast Cave Heaven, one can see how big the difference is, even though they are all cultivators of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking that even this Cave Heaven ancestor was cultivated step by step from the Qi Refining stage to the present, she couldn't help but have more motivation. Thinking further that more than half of the seventy-two Dao ancestors in the universe also started as mortals, asking for the Dao and refining Qi, step by step relying on their own perseverance and talent, overcoming infinite tribulations, and finally holding a Dao of the universe, she couldn't help but feel yearning and heroism, secretly thinking, \"If the opportunity meets...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just refining Qi, she wanted to be a Dao ancestor. Ruan Ci also knew that she was thinking too far, but she just smiled it off. But her thoughts were finally reflected on her face. The steward looked back several times, and also nodded secretly, and his etiquette was even more respectful. He took Ruan Ci to visit for a long time before sending her to a small house by the Biyuan Cliff, knocked on the bell, and said respectfully, \"Master, Miss Ci has arrived outside the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chime sounded from the room. The steward made a gesture to Ruan Ci, and Ruan Ci pushed the door and entered, saluted, \"Ruan Ci has met Wang True Person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnishings in this room were actually very simple, with only two rooms. The outer room had a couch and a few futons, and the inner room had a zither and a sword. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Wang True Person sat cross-legged on the couch, gave an \"um\", and said first, \"Sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said, \"Your eyeballs are turning around, what are you looking at.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone was much more familiar and intimate than the last time they met. Ruan Ci knew in her heart that this was probably because she had already opened her meridians and her actions were still satisfactory to Wang True Person. She, the Sword Envoy, was sent by the Sect Master. Wang True Person wanted to take her in, so he had to see if she was pleasing to the eye. If she was too unbearable, he probably wouldn't want to cause trouble for the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven, and would have to spend his tongue to push her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She weighed others, and others weighed her. Ruan Ci didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang True Person doing this. However, since they were weighing each other, even if the other party was a Cave Heaven Venerable, she wouldn't be constrained. In her heart, the two were still an equal transaction. Hearing Wang True Person's question, her eyeballs turned a few more times, and then she said, \"I see that the furnishings in your room are so simple, I was a bit surprised at first, but now I have figured it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Wang True Person said, \"What have you figured out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said, \"The furnishings in your room are simple, but the scenery outside the window is rich. This piece of heaven and earth is your room, but it is already perfect and gorgeous to the extreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile escaped from the corner of Wang True Person's lips, and he turned his head to look out the window. The blue sea was connected to the waves, the wind was calm and the waves were calm, and the scenery was indeed clear, beautiful, and pleasant. But if it was about special colors, it was not as good as the occasional charm he revealed between his looks. Ruan Ci looked in her eyes and thought in her heart, \"Wang True Person and Xie Sister look the same, but their temperament is indeed completely different, and I will never recognize them wrong again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tongue is quite eloquent.\" Wang True Person said, and looked at Ruan Ci a few more times, nodded and said, \"The Jade Pool is still worth looking at.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci had only just opened her meridians and had not cultivated any spells or talismans. At this time, her Jade Pool could be peeped by any cultivator with ability, just like that river clam she killed, which was born from the momentum on her head. However, she didn't know exactly what level her Jade Pool was in the Profound Heaven Sect. After all, she had been hibernating in the cave abode for the past few days, and just now she took the car to the Cave Heaven. The steward didn't seem to have the habit of peeping at others indiscriminately, and didn't make any comments on Ruan Ci's Jade Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, since Wang True Person looked at it, she was very curious, as if she had entered the examination room and should have a definite comment. Even though she knew that she would cheat in the future and the current comment had no meaning, she still wanted to know, was this \"worth looking at\" the \"worth looking at\" that could achieve Cave Heaven, or was it the \"worth looking at\" that could only barely pass in the Profound Heaven Sect disciples?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts were naturally reflected in her facial expressions. Wang True Person saw it and couldn't help but smile, saying, \"If you want to ask, just ask, why be coy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci thought for a while, opened her mouth to ask, but talked about business, \"Is the assassin who probed me the master of Zhang Ji's relative?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person nodded, \"It is indeed the cause and effect born from that maid you expelled. I already know everything about this matter, you don't need to worry about it anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci was not very satisfied and asked, \"If the True Person doesn't tell me who is making trouble, aren't you afraid that I will make friends by mistake when I cultivate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first saw Wang True Person, she was still a mortal, so her voice was not so firm. Wang True Person seemed to be aware of her changes, and the look in his eyes at Ruan Ci was also quite interesting. He looked exactly the same as Xie Yanhuan's male body, but when Xie Yanhuan was a man, he was heroic, but Wang True Person was delicate and elegant. When they first met, he was actually quite cold to her, but his etiquette was impeccable. Now that she had obtained Wang True Person's approval, the relationship between the two gradually became closer. He had more expressions, and the difference from Xie Yanhuan was getting bigger and bigger, but Ruan Ci still couldn't grasp his temperament, only feeling that the cultivators of the Profound Heaven Sect were really not like the magic sect cultivators who showed their emotions, all of them hid their temperaments deeply. They were indeed old monsters who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like at this moment, she was aggressive, far from the attitude an outer sect disciple should have. Wang True Person was not unhappy, but didn't know if he appreciated Ruan Ci's boldness, just said gently, \"I'm afraid that if you know who is making trouble, you will only know how to guard against that line, and instead fall into someone else's trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci was immediately blocked and had nothing to say. She pouted, but Wang True Person would naturally not be moved by this little daughter's attitude, just looking at her peacefully. Ruan Ci felt bored being looked at, pursed her lips, and Wang True Person said, \"When you opened your meridians, why didn't you find someone to protect the law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the cultivation technique was given, the Purple Void Cave Illumination Heaven would naturally not be stingy with a law protector. Ruan Ci had already thought of an explanation for her cultivation, \"I didn't think about opening my meridians immediately. After all, I just entered the sect, so I should rest for a few days. Furthermore, I don't know how to do Tool Cultivation to open meridians. I thought about asking the True Person for guidance, but after returning to the cave abode, when I was reading the secret news, I accidentally recited the mantra, and I don't know how it triggered the induction, and I entered meditation for a while, only feeling...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried several times, but stopped talking, so she had to apologize to Wang True Person, skipped the general idea, and said, \"In short, when I woke up from meditation, I realized that I had already successfully opened my meridians in a daze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precious techniques are not passed on. All insights related to the Donghua Sword, except for this \"Qinghua Secret News\" which is a side record of the Dao system and can be passed down, are not recorded in any other classics. Ruan Ci had tried to describe her experience of contemplating the sword intent diagram to Wang Panpan before, but didn't succeed. Wang True Person really had no reason not to believe this explanation. He looked at Ruan Ci for a long time and smiled, \"Oh, is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci felt a bit guilty being looked at by him, but relying on the Donghua Sword to calm her mind, she still acted as if nothing had happened, nodded and said, \"It is indeed so, the disciple dare not hide it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person didn't ask anymore, and asked Ruan Ci what else she needed. Ruan Ci hurriedly asked, wanting to know if she could use magic tools and spiritual weapons, or learn talisman methods, etc. After all, she couldn't sense Dao rhymes, and the spiritual energy she absorbed from the Donghua Sword was pure spiritual energy, and the spiritual power she emitted was also pure spiritual power. She really didn't know if she could drive magic tools made by cultivators who were contaminated with Dao rhymes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is naturally possible, and there will even be some benefits that other cultivators can't think of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person said and asked Ruan Ci, \"You say, what is the essence of spiritual energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably didn't expect Ruan Ci to have her own insights, just paused and was about to continue, but Ruan Ci happened to have some insights, hurriedly shouted ahead of him, \"Spiritual energy is the Dao rhyme of the creation Dao ancestor, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person's words were contained in his mouth, his eyes widened slightly for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then returned to normal, saying indifferently, \"Not bad, how did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci didn't even try, and pushed it directly onto the precious techniques not being passed on, flickering her eyes, and said back to the topic she was interested in, \"The Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao ancestor created the world, and this universe is full of his Dao rhymes. His Dao rhymes are our spiritual energy. Heavenly demons are also born from sensing spiritual energy, so they can directly enter the Great Heaven, because we cultivators and heavenly demons share a key, and the door of the Great Heaven is not locked for heavenly demons. And the Langhuan Zhou Tian is under the protection of the Dao rhymes of the Cave Yang Dao ancestor, just like adding two locks to the door. Heavenly demons can only open one lock, but cannot open the second one, so they can't get in, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person smiled slightly and nodded, \"You said it very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci guessed it all right, and couldn't help but be even more excited, but she couldn't figure it out, \"But if this is the case, I can't sense the Dao rhymes of the Cave Yang Dao ancestor, so I can't open the second lock. I originally thought that I couldn't use the magic tools of the Langhuan Zhou Tian, and I couldn't learn the Zhou Tian talisman methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's where you guessed wrong,\" Wang True Person said calmly, \"The Great Dao of heaven and earth, only Dao rhymes are fundamental. Spiritual energy fills all things. In this universe, the Dao rhymes of the Five Elements Dao ancestor are the fundamental. The fundamental Great Dao and Dao rhymes are like a servant and a master, a wife and a husband. How can one woman serve two husbands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said, \"Yes, Wang... Wang True Person don't you know? When I was in South Zhuzhou, I saw some female cultivators who had dozens of husbands at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally wanted to say Wang Panpan told her about Young Master Yue's family affairs, but fortunately she held back and changed her words in time. But even if she didn't bring out Xie Yanhuan's old pet, this sentence blocked Wang True Person's eyelashes, and he turned around and said, \"Just like one body and one soul, although you wear several clothes, don't you only have one Ruan Ci living in your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci wanted to say, actually there is a sword spirit living in my body, otherwise how can I be close to the Donghua Sword? However, she didn't dare to stimulate Wang True Person again, coughed lightly, swallowed the words, and barely said, \"I understand what you mean, the Five Elements spiritual energy is the soul in my body, and the Cave Yang Dao rhyme is just the clothes I wear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person seemed to be able to see that Ruan Ci had hidden a lever that she didn't hit, his phoenix eyes looked over, his thin lips raised slightly, and said, \"Are you worried about my face at this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sentence made Ruan Ci's face turn slightly red, knowing that she was a bit rude. Wang True Person ignored her and said, \"Actually, you are a very good example. Your main soul is naturally Ruan Ci, but it is also contaminated with sword spirit. However, this sword spirit does not affect you eating and drinking. If you need the sword spirit's permission for everything you do, Ruan Ci is not the main soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The part that the sword spirit can change is just that your reaction when you come into contact with the Donghua Sword is different from others. This Langhuan Zhou Tian, since it is still in this universe, the main soul is naturally the Five Elements Dao ancestor, just contaminated with the Cave Yang Dao rhyme. Dao rhymes can only change some Great Dao rules at certain times, but they cannot do it all the time, for everything. Do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci just raised a lever with Wang True Person, actually just playing around. Wang True Person explained a little, and she understood. She thought, \"Then in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, the Dao rhymes of the Cave Yang Dao ancestor probably only changed one rule, that is, those who are not contaminated with Cave Yang Dao rhymes cannot absorb spiritual energy. Oh, no, there is also, those who are contaminated with Cave Yang Dao rhymes cannot leave the Zhou Tian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You probably guessed right. Actually, it's not that you can't absorb spiritual energy without being contaminated with Dao rhymes. After all, everything in this world contains spiritual energy, just the quantity and form are different. Even if mortals eat and drink, they are also absorbing the tiny spiritual energy in it to survive. Living spirits are born because of spirits, but those who cannot sense the Cave Yang Dao rhymes absorb the spiritual energy of this Zhou Tian very slowly, hundreds or thousands of times slower than others, so that cultivating the Dao has no meaning for them.\" Wang True Person said, \"This is the only rule changed by the Cave Yang Dao rhymes in the Langhuan Zhou Tian, and it is only useful for existences below the Dao ancestor. The Donghua Sword is a spiritual treasure of the Great Dao of Life, and it is also at the Dao ancestor level. Even though it is now a broken sword, it can still ignore this rule. As for the creations contaminated with Dao rhymes that cannot leave, and the creations without Dao rhymes that cannot enter, that is just setting up additional restrictions on the Zhou Tian barrier, not a change at the rule level. Therefore, in some places where the Zhou Tian barrier is weak, the restrictions naturally become weak, and heavenly demons can still break through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is probably the void space that the Sky Boat travels through. Ruan Ci listened in a daze and realized something. Wang True Person didn't say anything more, just said, \"These things will naturally be understood when you cultivate to a high level. At present, your cultivation is low, so it is better to focus on your cultivation. You only need to know that whether you can sense the Cave Yang Dao rhymes affects the intake of spiritual energy, but it does not affect the use. Because although we can sense the Cave Yang Dao rhymes, we cannot cultivate and use them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person can only cultivate one kind of Dao rhyme, and we, as creations of this universe, are naturally born to cultivate the Five Elements Dao rhyme, which is spiritual energy. Since we cannot use it, forging magic tools, writing talismans and drawing arrays are all purely for the use of spiritual energy. Whether there is a Cave Yang Dao rhyme or not, it doesn't matter. Otherwise, what is Xie Yanhuan looking for you for? Giving you the sword is also harming you. You can't use the Qiankun bag, you can't use various magic treasures, you can't use talismans, you are just a savage carrying a sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci was also worried about this point. Not to mention anything else, if she couldn't use the Qiankun bag, she would have to find a maid by her side in the future to store things. Now hearing that all uses were fine, her face brightened and she was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, Wang True Person's lips curled up slightly, cutting in front of her and saying, \"Unlike now, you can still be a savage who carries a sword and flies talismans, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging the enemy's corpse at the door of the cave abode, if it's not a savage, what is it? Wang True Person disliked her for being barbaric and ugly, and Ruan Ci also knew that the Profound Heaven Sect was so imposing, naturally paying attention to decency everywhere, and Wang True Person was no exception. It was just that she didn't admire these, but instead felt vaguely disgusted. Hearing this, she pouted again, \"I... I am indeed a wild girl from the countryside. Even if I am barbaric, the great cultivators of the Central Continent won't care about me, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci didn't eat the Profound Heaven Sect's set, and Wang True Person didn't eat her set either. His phoenix eyes turned over, closed slightly, and asked indifferently, \"Since this is the case, is there anything else to ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci wanted to ask for some talisman methods and techniques, but thought about it, and felt that her cultivation was tied to the sword. With the Donghua Sword protecting her, she didn't need any superior spells. At least at this stage, she didn't need them. Going to Spirit Valley Peak to search and read by herself was enough, no need to consume human favors at the Cave Heaven True Person here. After thinking for a while, she said, \"This... I have a problem, it's not easy to eat non-spiritual food, but I can't cook. I heard from servants that what ordinary people make is not delicious—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person opened his eyes, glanced at her for a while, raised his hand to take out a cup of tea in the air, closed his eyes and sipped for a while, as if smoothing his mood. After a while, he said gently, \"Cooking spiritual food, one cannot enter the door without Foundation Establishment. You haven't reached Foundation Establishment yet, and the steward's cultivation is too high, which will attract people's words, which is counterproductive. Wait until you reach Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci thought, after Foundation Establishment, I will naturally want to apprentice. After apprenticing, won't I move into the Cave Heaven? By then, won't I use the cooks in the Cave Heaven? It sounds good, but in the end, I don't have to really come out, it's just asking for a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person raised his cup to drink tea again, and Ruan Ci thought again, why drink tea when you are already a Cave Heaven? Everything in this Cave Heaven is yours; if you love tea, you can conjure the taste of tea in your mouth at any time. What is the difficulty? Why raise the cup?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought wildly, but it was just thinking, and naturally didn't show it on her face. She responded, and said carefully, \"I also have a cat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person's cup of tea seemed to never be finished, but Ruan Ci didn't change the topic, just stared at Wang True Person. She and Wang Panpan had been together for several years. Although the two sides were not without reservations, they were considered harmonious. Besides, Wang Panpan was her cat now, and she couldn't let others raise it forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent for a cup of tea. This cup of tea was real. When Wang True Person put down the cup, his face was as gentle as usual, and he said, \"This is the same reason as the kitchen. Wait until you reach Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci also knew that Wang Panpan's cultivation was quite high, and it was very eye-catching in her Qi Refining cultivator place, which would attract more unnecessary attention. Wang True Person, a Cave Heaven ancestor, was willing to grind with her for so long, which already gave her enough face. If she entangled again, it would be really unreasonable in terms of human favors. Hearing this, she had to give up, just thinking, \"Everything is said to be after Foundation Establishment. Isn't this the same as when the maids coaxed me when I was a child? Everything is after I grow up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly thought that she hadn't grown up yet, and the Ruan family died without a single one left. Those nannies and slaves who had coaxed her all died in the bloody night six years ago. The playfulness suddenly vanished. She respectfully responded, and thought that neither of these two things was satisfactory, and there was nothing to ask, so she felt disheartened and wanted to get up and say goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person called her again and said, \"There is one more thing here. You entered the forest without authorization this time, which caused many things. Even if the teacher can take care of it, it cannot be like this all year round. Don't be so reckless in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci's eyes were round, and she wanted to argue again. Just in time, the bell rang outside the house. Wang True Person signaled her to lift the chime hammer by the door. Ruan Ci did so, and also thought in her heart, there was no one in the house just now, did Wang True Person jump down to knock the chime himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost laughed out, but forced herself to hold back. After knocking the chime, a young male cultivator walked in from outside, holding a tray in his hand, on which a colorful brocade bag was presented. He bent down and held the tray above his head, respectfully saying, \"Master, all the grain and goods have been prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang True Person gave an \"um\" and ordered, \"You send Little Ci back, teach her how to use the brocade bag, and teach her a few spells. From now on, you will be the one to send her food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man respectfully responded, turned and turned the tray towards Ruan Ci, still holding it high above his head, so diligent that he couldn't even hold the tray, and the brocade bag trembled lightly, hitting the edge of the tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation was naturally above Ruan Ci's. Ruan Ci was a bit embarrassed, got up and took the brocade bag to play with, smiling, \"Why be so respectful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glance at the young man, but saw that the young man took the tray, still shrinking and flickering, standing in the corner of the room, his head lowered too much, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, but he didn't say anything first, just waited to say goodbye to the True Person, went out of the house and boarded the car. She didn't close the door, stood at the front of the car, and talked to the young man several times. The young man knelt at the front of the car, answering respectfully, just not turning his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci simply patted him on the shoulder and said, \"Hey, talking to people without turning your face is not polite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was startled, Ruan Ci went around to his front to see his face. The space at the front of the car was limited. The young man dodged in a panic, and didn't dare to push her away, fearing that Ruan Ci would fall, so he had to close his eyes tightly, trembling with fear, still not daring to look at Ruan Ci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci had some enlightenment in her heart, and shouted, \"You wouldn't be afraid to look at me—was it you who peeked at me that day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man still closed his eyes tightly, and his face was wrinkled. The flying car still moved forward steadily. He nodded slightly, with a very small range, looking like he was afraid of being scolded by Ruan Ci. Ruan Ci was amused and laughed, saying, \"Oh, I'm scaring you, who really wants to dig out your eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man gradually calmed down, but still didn't dare to look at Ruan Ci. His long eyelashes flickered a few times, his big eyes opened a little, and he gathered his courage to glance at Ruan Ci quickly. Seeing that Ruan Ci didn't rush up to dig out his eyes, he gradually relaxed, tilted his head to look at Ruan Ci, and smiled, \"Tianlu is too timid, making Miss Ci laugh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were like a little deer, round and black, and his face was also round, looking very cute, and his temperament was so timid and fearful, close to funny. Ruan Ci felt quite close to him, sat side by side with him at the front of the car, and smiled, \"Are you called Tianlu? How old are you this year? Have you reached Foundation Establishment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two asked and answered, and the flying car soon flew out of the Cave Heaven and went far away. Wang True Person looked out the window, couldn't help but smile slightly, pointed his finger, and the jade chime rang without being hammered. Soon another steward walked in. The True Person said, \"You go to that old thing's place, and say that this South Barbarian girl is very rough, her temperament is stubborn, she slanders her teacher, is unbearable to teach, is gluttonous, and asks for a lot. I have already given her the true scripture, and there is nothing else to teach her. Let him ask someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very caring to Ruan Ci on the surface, and his temper was very good, never scolding her, but privately he was such a comment. The steward didn't dare to say anything, exited the room, turned into a light of escape and flew away. Wang True Person closed his eyes and worked hard here. After half a day, the steward returned to report, knelt down and said, \"The ancestor only said three words—'I know'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, someone came to report that the Seven Star Small Abode had suddenly sent a massive amount of precious materials. Because it was not in the daily offerings, it was specially reported to the True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Person heard it, and then had nothing to say. The Cave Heaven was busy counting the precious materials into the warehouse. It took more than ten days to present the list. The True Person was too lazy to check, just called Tianlu and said, \"You go and see, if there are any low-level spiritual objects, take out one hundred... no, take out one thousandth, and send her away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then asked, \"Has that cave abode been named?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Essence Mountain peaks are everywhere, naturally not every place has a name. Disciples will give a common name when they settle down, otherwise it is always \"in the mountain\", \"cave abode\", which is easy to confuse and looks unrefined. Tianlu shook his head, his voice was crisp, \"Miss came from a foreign continent, she doesn't understand anything. On the Sky Boat, True Person Chen didn't teach her. Now she is learning talismans, spells, and techniques, and she can't take care of these yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Person asked, \"What spells did you teach her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu counted on his fingers, nothing more than clearing dust, moving and transporting, etc. The True Person listened, and took another cup of tea to drink. However, he was harsh on Ruan Ci, but very fond of Tianlu, just sighed, \"Well done, next time you send food, why not teach her the Four Great Mantras?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu only then understood that he had taught her wrongly, fearing that it would not be to the True Person's liking, so he was panicked and tearful, and hurriedly retreated. Among the sea of spiritual materials, he randomly selected more than ten kinds of spiritual food, loaded them in a car, took a jade slip, and hurriedly went to find Ruan Ci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. I will send red envelopes for the previous chapter in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chapter has a lot of words, and the True Person's scenes are still quite a lot. The setting of Dao rhymes is explained again. If you don't understand, leave a message and ask~ I will explain tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm having mushroom and tofu soup, green pepper fried cuttlefish and fried winter melon for lunch today. I don't like eating winter melon, but my family likes it very much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.
